Ah, working a 9 to 5. Endless fun, constant new challenges, never a dull moment… wait what? While a 9 to 5 job definitely has its perks, it doesn’t always address all of your interests. Starting a side hustle can be a great way to channel passions that are sidelined in the office, and make some extra cash, too. But where do you start and how do both at once? In early 2019, Safiya Driskell started her blog “Slice of Safiya” while working full-time in the digital marketing space. Today she is an Account Manager at Snap Inc. in Los Angeles, has gained a loyal following and has secured partnerships with companies like Neutrogena while writing about beauty, fashion and culture.
